Whats going on, im new to this site, been looking for a place where i can find some help. Im going to be getting a betta in the next few weeks, with a 5 gallon tank, and i would like some help from any and everyone that will help. I was wondering what kind of tank mates can i have in with my betta? What kind of plants can i have in the tank with them? What kind of bedding in the tank should i have? Do i need a filter and a bubbler(the bubble machine i cant think of the actual name of it) in there?
